Dan has a track record of success in creative technical positions requiring a high degree of skill and the ability to think “outside the box” to fashion the right solution. He is able to demonstrate both a strong technical proficiency, as well as excellent abstract thinking skills. Dan has an intimate knowledge of the software development process – with special focus on web technologies - and has worked on many different hardware and software platforms. He has held technical and executive positions from Lead Programmer, Chief Software Architect, and Project Manager to Vice President of Software Development with leading firms in the area.

Dan has also worked in the creative fields of sound reinforcement and lighting design, music and ad-audio recording and post-production, and has assisted in the creation of corporate A/V presentations on a variety of media; including web-based training and CD-ROM interactive videos.

Understanding the strategic position of technology in business, Dan does not suffer from the myopic view that often dominates the thought process of technical individuals. He is extremely customer focused, and always keeps the customers’ objectives in mind - while offering advice and a fresh new perspective - when designing solutions for a client.

Dan currently services to small and mid-sized businesses throughout Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. Dan often works with other technology firms and creative companies as a sub-contractor and can help those organizations meet their customer commitments in a discreet and “invisible” fashion.

While Dan personally offers a plethora of technological insight, and brings both strong technical and creative skills to the table, sometimes one person just isn’t enough for the job or a specific skill set is needed outside of Dan’s own talents. Should additional manpower be required for a project, or specialized skills outside of Dan’s personal area of expertise are needed, Dan can still help by calling on its network of technical professionals to fulfill the work in a managed, seamless manner with no hassle to the customer.
